General rules for food safety
From scientific study and common sense, we can learn the following food safety rules and it will
lead you to improve the food safety and to optimize food storage.
1. If perishable foods have been heated, defrosted or un-refrigerated, consume them immediately.
2. To re-vacuum the vacuum-packed foods after they have been opened, follow the instructions to
refrigerate after opening and store re-vacuumed packages properly.
3. The suitable way to defrost your food is to place it in the refrigerator until defrosted, never
defrost foods in hot water or via heat sources or in a microwave oven.
4. It will be harmful if you consume the foods which have been left out at room temperature for
more than a few hours, especially if they have been prepared with a thick sauce, in a vacuum
package, or in some other low-oxygen environment.
5. To cool down food temperature quickly, please spread vacuum packages evenly throughout
refrigerator or freezer.
6. Before vacuum sealing, it's necessary to clean your hands, and all utensils and surfaces to be
used for cutting and vacuum sealing foods.
7. Refrigerate or freeze the perishable foods immediately, if you have vacuum-sealed them, and
do not leave them sitting at room temperature.
8. The shelf life of dry foods such as nuts, coconut or cereals will be extended in vacuum-sealed
package, while storing them in dark place. Oxygen and warm temperature will cause high-fat
content foods fat to rancidity.
9. Before vacuum sealing some fruit and vegetables, such as apples, bananas, potatoes and root
vegetables, peel them, this will extend their shelf lives.
10. When vacuum seal some vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage fresh for
refrigeration, they will emit gases, so it's need to blanch and freeze these foods before vacuum
sealing.
